Yeah, he get's noticed every once in awhile. There was a nice writeup in the Washington Post some time back, too. Canon digital, Mamiya 6, Holga & Speed Graphic makes for a heck of a kit to be carrying around like that.

Oh, him. Yeah. Interesting, eh?

But when I tried to get to the NY Times site, they wanted to know my date of birth, household income, etc. My immediate response was "None of your ****ing business."

Am I unusual in this?

Cheers,

Roger

"The digital picture pretends to display raw reality. The analog picture is a visualization of human memory."

I think that is a great depiction of the difference.

I'm a big fan of Burnett's work, so I always love reading articles about him. Thanks for the link Jon.

I like his campaign and normal PJ work but I'm not terribly fond of the Olympics work he's done with the Speed Graphic. For me, the DOFs and vignetting he's been using just doesn't seem to work. Anyone else feel that way? OTOH, there is a great 6x6 shot of ski jumpers in the audio slideshow that I just love.
